Best Bergman movies

It's been a while since the last time I saw this one, and after rewatching it, I can only say 1) It's Bergman's most perfect film. 2) Has 2 of the strongest performances on film. 3) Has one of the most intriguing but minimal stories. 4) Might have a thousand different interpretations. 5) Is the most amazing and highest point cinema has ever reached, if I have to choose one movie to represent everything cinema is all about, undoubtfully I would choose Persona.

What a magnificent film! Pure Bergman magic (specially to the end), stunning cinematography and great performances! A very powerfull story, containing Bergman's favorite subjects such as death, relationships and changes. A surprising film, with some unexpected twists. Perfect! A classic!

Another excellent film by Bergman!! A movie about the battle of the sexes, which sometimes avoided uncomfortable themes or taboos and told the story straight without missing any detail. One of the bitchiest movies out there, it almost made me remember All About Eve, because it described what some women may do to achieve what they want. This time, they're after men, almost placing them as objects of desire than like a "person". It plays with emotions, and shows some great performances by Gunnar Björnstrand and Eva Dahlbeck. This movie really was ahead of its time! Another theme was adultery, treated in a way very particular. There were many cases of adultery, and the one more surprising was by the preacher boy, who dedicated his life to God. So, it give him a human characteristic, the desire for sex, which not even his theology career may take away from him. Virginity: and the way characters react to it, if they're not virgin they enjoy sex... if they are virgin, can only think of ways to get rid of it and trying to take fears away. And finally, the roulette scene was genius, it had me tied to my seat waiting for something to happen. An excellent film that explores some aspects of human nature, separately for men and for women,

A very moving and symbolic film by Bergman! I loved the mixture between some sureal imagery and the modernity of the film's story.

Also a movie that explores human dramas and those stories we would like to tear apart and never remember. The use of the red color is perfect, the red-fades are a genius work. A really great movie, another one by Bergman!

Though it seems as a little movie with little amount of characters and settings, it is so powerful and intense that surprised me, really. The characters are so deeply developed that seem as real people with real emotions and memories. Acting is first class, one of Ingrid Bergman's greatest performances. Liv Ullmann is great as always. The script is perfect also. Another Bergman masterpiece.

A little film but with great power. A movie about religion, naiveness, death, revenge, miracles, and so many more themes in less than 1:30 hours. Beautifully set on medieval Sweden, with great cinematography (as always in every Bergman movie) and an endging that left me very confused. One of Bergman's best!

Pretty good film by Bergman, though not one of my favorites... Highlights the complications of marriage, love and sex.. and when they're joined together. With a great-wicked writing that maintains you entertained the 2 hours 40 min and a great performance by beautiful Liv Ullmann. A good movie to watch, but not one of my favorites...
